Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

They took a deep breath, held hands, and walked into the light gate together.

On the other side of the light gate is an ancient temple full of mystery.

The walls of the temple are carved with various strange patterns, and in the center is a huge altar with two glittering artifacts on it.

"It seems that we have found the remaining two artifacts." Luo Chen said, with a hint of fatigue in his voice, but more of excitement.

Qingshuang walked forward and carefully picked up the two artifacts.

The moment she touched the artifact, the entire temple began to shake, and rays of light shot out from the altar, forming a huge ball of light.

"Luo Chen, look!" Qingshuang exclaimed.

Luo Chen looked up and saw a blurry figure appearing in the light ball. The figure gradually became clear and it was the guardian angel.

"Congratulations, you have completed the trial and found three artifacts." The voice of the guardian god echoed in the temple.

"Now, you can use these three artifacts to open the door to the real world." The guardian continued.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed the instructions of the guardian god and placed the three artifacts at specific locations on the altar.

The artifacts began to resonate with each other, emitting dazzling light, which gradually gathered into a huge light gate.

"Pass through this light gate and you will return to the real world." The voice of the guardian angel sounded again.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not hesitate, they knew that this was their only chance.

They held each other's hands tightly and stepped into the light gate together.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back in the real world.

They stood in front of the crystal ball, and everything around them seemed so familiar.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood in front of the light gate, looking at each other, with complex emotions flashing in their eyes.

After going through countless challenges and tests, they finally returned to the real world, but with unspeakable loss and confusion in their hearts.

"We are really back." There was a hint of uncertainty in Qingshuang's voice, as if all this was just a dream.

Luo Chen nodded heavily, and then said: "I'm back, but we have to leave here first. Everything here is so weird that it makes me feel uneasy."

Qingshuang nodded.

Afterwards, the two of them left the place as quickly as possible.

As for the ancient parchment used to explore this place, the two of them simply discarded it on their way.

It is better to throw away ominous things like this as soon as possible.

a few days later.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang returned to the market town where immortal cultivators gathered.

The market town was still bustling with monks of all kinds walking around, trading, communicating, or simply enjoying the prosperity of the market town.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang seemed a little out of place, with the aftermath of that adventure still echoing in their hearts.

"We are really back." Qingshuang said softly again, with a hint of trance in her eyes, as if she was still savoring that magical journey.

Luo Chen nodded and looked around. The familiar feeling made him feel a little relieved.

"Yeah, it's good to be back, but it seems like no one will believe what we've been through."

Qing Shuang smiled slightly, "So what? We just need to know it ourselves. Those artifacts and the guardian angel are our common secrets."

The two walked side by side on the bustling street. Luo Chen suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a small teahouse.

"Let's go in and sit down. There's something I want to talk to you about."

Qingshuang nodded in agreement, and the two walked into the teahouse and found a quiet corner to sit down.

Luo Chen ordered two cups of tea. The lingering aroma of tea brought them a sense of tranquility.

"Qingshuang." Luo Chen said, "Although we are back, I feel that we still have a lot to do."

Qing Shuang looked at him curiously, "What do you mean?"

“Nature is another secret realm.”

"I still have the map of the secret realm given to me by Xuanjizi, the elder of Tianji Pavilion!"

Luo Chen took out the yellowed map of the secret realm from his arms and carefully spread it out on the table.

Qingshuang took a closer look and saw some strange symbols and routes marked on the map, which seemed to point to an unknown area.

"This secret realm is said to hide even more powerful powers and secrets."

Luo Chen whispered, with a gleam of exploration in his eyes.

Qingshuang nodded slightly, she knew that what Luo Chen said was not nonsense.

In the world of cultivating immortals, every secret realm may hide an opportunity to change one's destiny.

"We've been through so much, don't you want to continue exploring?"

Luo Chen asked, his voice full of anticipation.

Qingshuang smiled slightly, she already had the answer in her heart.

A gleam of determination flashed in Qingshuang's eyes, and she replied softly: "Of course, Luo Chen. We have come this far, how can we give up halfway?"

Hearing this, Luo Chen raised a satisfied smile.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fresh tea aroma seemed to dispel some of the fog in his heart.

"Then let's get ready and head to this secret place."

Luo Chen said, with unquestionable firmness in his voice.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that this would be a new adventure, perhaps more dangerous than the previous ones, but she believed that as long as she was with Luo Chen, nothing was impossible.

The two sat in the teahouse for a while, discussing some details about the secret realm and the possible dangers they might encounter.

They decided to collect some necessary information and supplies before setting off.

After leaving the teahouse, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to ask around in the market town for news about the secret realm.

They found some experienced old monks and asked them for advice.

Although these old monks knew very little about the secret realm, they still provided some useful information.

"The secret realm controlled by the Tianji Pavilion? It is said that the secret realm is called the Endless Youtan, and it is full of all kinds of unknown dangers. You must be careful." An old monk reminded.

"Endless Netherworld?" Luo Chen repeated, frowning slightly, "It does sound like a difficult place to deal with."

Qingshuang seemed calmer, "No matter how dangerous it is, we must go and find out what's going on."

They also bought some necessities in the market, including some elixirs to restore their true energy, defensive magic tools, and some talismans that could be used to explore the way.

After buying these, the two went to another auction.

It just so happens that a relatively important auction will be held today.

Generally, the most important things often appear at the auction.

So, the two had to go and take a look.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked into the auction hall, which was bustling with people. Various cultivators were standing or sitting, talking to each other in low voices.

The items on the auction table were displayed one by one, and each one caused quite a stir.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's eyes shuttled through the crowd. They knew that what they were looking for today might be a treasure that could help them survive in the Endless Netherworld. "Look over there." Qing Shuang gently touched Luo Chen's elbow and pointed to a corner.

There stood a man in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadow of his hood, playing with a seemingly ordinary jade pendant in his hand.

Luo Chen followed Qingshuang's gaze and his heart moved.

Although the jade pendant looked ordinary, it emitted a strange aura faintly, and seemed to be no ordinary object.

"Let's go over and take a look." Luo Chen suggested.

The two men walked through the crowd and came in front of the man in black robe.

The man seemed to have noticed their arrival. He raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of deep eyes.

"Are you two Taoist friends interested in this jade pendant?" The man's voice was low and magnetic.

"I wonder what the magical use of this thing is?" Qingshuang asked directly.

The black-robed man smiled slightly and handed the jade pendant to Qing Shuang. "This jade pendant is called the 'Ghost Amulet'. It is said to be able to resist a fatal attack, but it will shatter after use."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

In the world of cultivating immortals, treasures that can save lives are rare. Such a thing is undoubtedly a timely help for the adventure they are about to face.

"I wonder how much you want?" Luo Chen asked.

The man in black robe pondered for a moment and quoted a price.

Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang thought the price was high, they decided to buy it considering the value of the jade pendant.

After the transaction was completed, Luo Chen carefully put away the ghost amulet, and the two continued to look for items that might be useful to them at the auction.

However, the following items, although valuable, were not as attractive to them as the ghost amulet.

When the auction ended, it was already dark.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left the auction and were on their way back to the inn.

"With the ghost amulet, we have a better chance of going to the Endless Netherworld." Luo Chen said.

Qingshuang nodded, but her expression was a little solemn. "Although we have the amulet, we still need to be careful. The danger of Endless Netherworld cannot be completely resolved by a treasure."

Luo Chen patted Qing Shuang's shoulder gently, "Don't worry, don't we still have each other?"

Qingshuang smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "Yes, with you here, I have nothing to fear."

After returning to the inn, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to organize the supplies and information they had collected.

They decided to make another detailed plan before setting off to ensure that every step was as safe as possible.

After a few days, everything was ready.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood at the edge of the market town, looking at the desolate path leading to the endless ghost town, feeling both anticipation and uneasiness in their hearts.

"Do we really want to do this?" Qingshuang asked softly.

Luo Chen turned to look at her, his eyes full of determination, "We have come this far, there is no turning back, Qingshuang, no matter what lies ahead, we must face it together."

Qingshuang took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, then we will move forward together."

The two of them set out on the road to the endless youtan side by side.

As they walked, the surrounding scenery gradually became desolate, and an unsettling atmosphere filled the air.

"Luo Chen, look over there." Qingshuang suddenly pointed to a stone tablet not far ahead.

Luo Chen looked in the direction Qingshuang's finger pointed and saw a few ancient characters engraved on the stone tablet, which seemed to be warning passers-by.

"This should be the entrance to the Endless Poetry." Luo Chen said.

Qingshuang nodded, she took out a piece of talisman paper from her arms, and waved it gently. The talisman paper turned into a ray of light, illuminating the road ahead.

"Let's go, Luo Chen." There was a hint of firmness in Qingshuang's voice.

The two of them set foot on the path behind the stone tablet and went deeper into the heart of the Endless Youtan step by step.

As they went deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more bizarre, with strange noises coming from all directions from time to time.

"Be careful, something seems to be wrong here." Luo Chen warned in a low voice.

Qingshuang held Luo Chen's hand tightly. She could feel the warmth of Luo Chen's palm, which made her feel a little more at ease.

"No matter what happens, we must face it together." Qingshuang said again.

Luo Chen nodded, and they continued to move forward, taking every step carefully.

Suddenly, a strong vibration came from the ground and the two of them hurried to steady themselves.

"What's going on?" Qingshuang was confused and surprised.

Luo Chen frowned and looked around, trying to find the source of the vibration.

"Look over there!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed to a huge crack not far ahead.

Black mist gushed out from the cracks, and something seemed to be wriggling in the mist.

"What is that?" Luo Chen's voice was filled with a hint of nervousness.

Qingshuang shook her head. She had never seen such a scene before.

The two held their breath and slowly approached the crack.

As the distance got closer, they finally saw clearly what was in the fog - it was a group of hideous monsters with bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes.

"We must be careful." Luo Chen whispered.

Qingshuang nodded and took out a talisman from her waist, preparing to deal with possible attacks.

At this moment, a monster suddenly rushed out from the fog and pounced towards Luo Chen.

Qingshuang reacted quickly, and the talisman in his hand instantly turned into a beam of fire and hit the monster.

The monster let out a shrill howl, fell to the ground, and turned into a pool of black water.

"These monsters seem to be very sensitive to talisman paper." Qingshuang said.

Luo Chen nodded, he took out a few pills from his arms and handed them to Qing Shuang, "These pills can temporarily increase our strength, maybe they can help us get through this difficult time."

Qingshuang took the pill, and after they both took it, they felt the inner energy surging in their bodies and their strength increased greatly.

"Let's keep moving forward." Luo Chen said.

They carefully bypassed the cracks and continued to go deeper into the endless dark world.

As they went deeper, they encountered more and more monsters and the battle became more intense.

"Luo Chen, look over there!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed to a high platform in front.

On the high platform, there stands a huge stone gate, which is engraved with complex runes.

"That should be the entrance leading to the depths of the Endless Pond." Luo Chen said.

The two looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

They know that the real challenge has just begun.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang approached the stone gate step by step. The monsters around them seemed to sense their intentions and became more violent.

The two of them fought as they approached the stone gate. (End of this chapter)
